The definitive book for fans of monster movies, slasher films,
and cult classics.
Would you dare to come face-to-face with the most terrifying vampires,
monsters, zombies, and psychos of all time? They and their movies are all here
in this lavishly (and terrifyingly) illustrated volume of the greatest, scariest, and
most influential fright films. From such silent masterpieces as The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari (1920) to such Golden Era classics as Dracula (1931); from such richly
colored shockers as House of Wax (1953) to such groundbreaking independent
thrillers as Night of the Living Dead (1968); and including modern horrors from
Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and the Blair Witch series,
Essential Horror Movies chronicles a century’s worth of cinematic terror.
